1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Failed crypto project will promote bitcoin more on: Today at 04:41:56 PM
What OP said would have been totally true assuming when projects fail, new ones don't emanate. If it happens so, it will mean that for each failed project, the participants will return to bitcoin until the very last project. But this is different from the reality. In reality, as many projects are failing, more are being launched and this enable people to jump from the one that has failed today to the one that will fail tomorrow and the cycle continues.
Someone who recently invested in a failed project will be so devastated that they may not want to invest again in cryptocurrency generally. Those who want to continue and really find out why they lost that investment will ask the right questions about the best cryptocurrency to invest in; bitcoins will always be mentioned, and if the person they ask has another opinion, bitcoins will still be mentioned in comparison, so they will somehow get to know about bitcoins. I believe this is what the OP is trying to express.

It is rare to see someone who just lost a lot of money to a failed crypto project in a hurry to invest again without better knowledge.
 
I understand you and as well as Op. What he said is true but not completely true. Bitcoiners from beginning are still bitcoiners, but shitcoiners hardly switch to bitcoin because;
  • They are first given a wrong orientation that bitcoin is so expensive for them to invest.
  • Also that bitcoin will not give them the desired profits they want
  • That bitcoin is for the rich
  • [They give them so many shits coins to invest and also prepare their minds against failure. They'll be like if this fail and this fail, atleast this other one will not fail.
  • It takes self determination and personal research to break out from those gangs.

At the end of these exercises investors will turn to bitcoin as the best to invest because of it quality it has. When beginners are going the wrong way in investing cryptocurrency their is nothing that can be done to stop them but the experience they will go through their is a lot to learn from it to true back to the right thing which is bitcoin.
You have a point. These projects just prove why bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrencies. In all these years even with newer technologies, bitcoin remains the best and not one has replicated its success. This further improves the confidence and trust people have on bitcoin. At the end of the day, bitcoin remains superior and one of a kind. It is safe to say that there will be nothing like bitcoin ever again.
What OP said would have been totally true assuming when projects fail, new ones don't emanate.

Only a few will embrace only bitcoin or have the larger percentage of their portfolio in bitcoin while using the rest to gamble in altcoins.

Found this user replying to this own post with his alt. For what purpose? Cheating signature quota. It's obvious that this user struggling with his post count quota. And for the sake of it he will reply to his own post. Not just that cheating of forum translation, contest and giving merit to own his alt account.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5498074.msg64139271#msg64139271
Funny enough, if I were a moderator, I wouldn't be banning anyone at this time in the forum for reasons like this. I am not even sure that people are being banned again in the forum. With the rate people are leaving the forum, I think moderators are more lenient this time than before.
Besides the offense in OP if true can only result in a red tag and not ban. Also, issuing red tags should be done only when it is absolutely necessary. Let's see if the coming bull run can help us recover traffic and enthusiasm in the forum.

I have an old Rollbit account that I wanted to access however I am wondering if people are getting issues with the site.

When I load it in Chrome, it opens up, I can see the website load because its blurry and there is loading in yellow shown, a few seconds after the website reloads and again, the website loads in the background, its blurry and the loading wheel appears and it does this over and over again. It worked in the paste but I can't get it to load. This is on a regular PC and not on mobile. Any solutions?
I started promoting Rollbit again, I think it's right time to start patronising the brand again. I'll visit my password manager to retrieve my old account. I just do trust that everything will work seamlessly. However, I'll keep an eye in this your post incase I encounter a similar issue.

6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 28, 2024, 08:03:25 PM
~~~

I do not think that Manchester United is going to improve a lot even in the next season. that is just my assumption with a new coach. If the current coach ETH is the coach of Manchester United in the next season, I am pretty sure that they are going to perform even badly. I heard someone say that maybe Manchester United should just try and keep him for another season. It cannot be any worse right?

But we all had a very good laugh as soon as we heard that. Why do you want to keep a problem? But we have seen that Manchester United loves to keep problems with them. When every other club is busy fixing their problems, Manchester United is giving the problem more chances to create more problems.
Manchester United has problems in defense and attack, they lack players there. Onana has impressed all season with many great saves, but Martinez's injury has left the defense weak. Varane and Maguire were very good at times, but in many games they looked weak at centre-back. Defensive problems must be overcome next season, of course Ten Hag can do better for his team.

Rashford and Antony haven't been very good this season, Rasmus Højlund's hard work doesn't seem to be producing maximum results. The strength of Manchester United's attack line is still weak and must be improved, otherwise whoever the coach is, they will only remain the same every season. Judging from the goal statistics, Manchester United only scored 57 goals and conceded 58 goals, this is proof that there are two problems that must be resolved within this team.
Honestly speaking, I also do not see Manchester United improving very well in next season. I still see Manchester United struggling to make top four next season. They can only avert this if they make good decisions. Decisions such as hiring a new coach, buying good and consistent players. In fact buying quality players to man the defense is more important than hiring a new coach. Even if I do not have a complete confidence in the personality of Erik Ten Hang, I still believe that he can do better next season if provided with consistent players. He was able to win the FA Cup because he had a handful of his players available for that final. Can you imagine Manchester United defense without Martinez, Varane, Wambissaka and Dalot winning the FA cup finals?

However, I still understand that a whole lot of things happen in new seasons. The pre-season a new thing, the swapping of jersey, selling of players and buying new legs. All these bring about positive changes in a club, but it is still the head coach that will pilot the team. He'll receive the major accolades or criticism according to the results.

You know the difference is, in the past, there was no signature campaign and people wrote short posts, funny ones and used forum like a chit chat place. They post naturally, did not post for money and it's different than spamming nowadays because of money incentives.
That is a good observation there. Could also be that without any motivation to post, only those with pure interest in Bitcoin communicated and that increased the general conversations we had here.

There were good posts then and there are now, but there is a lot of spam that almost drowns out the better discussions.

- Jay -
Also the newness of the Bitcoin technology was a good reason for quality conversations in the past. Barely knowing how to send and receive bitcoin was a great achievement then. I could make a short post on my experience trying to send bitcoin to my dad in Canada. This would make an interesting post then because the post was birthed out of real life experience.

But these days, a noob could show up from nowhere and make 5 paragraphs post describing how he sent bitcoin to his dad in Canada while in real life he/she doesn't own a fraction of bitcoin.
8  Other / Meta / Re: Wouldn't it be nice for edited posts to reflect on wherever it was quoted? on: May 28, 2024, 07:05:05 PM
Your suggestion will seriously negate one important feature of quote in BTT. Sometimes quotes serve as archive. It helps to retrieve the original post even after several edits. I may drop a post and ask someone to quote that post, which means I have lost the 100% right to edit the post completely. The right now lies with a third party. This is a nice feature in open discussion forum.

With the instance LoyceV gave above, if your idea should be implemented, it's PowerGlove that can tell how messy and unmaintainable the codes will be. Imagine multi-quoting an editted text and expect all the edits to be reflected.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024 on: May 27, 2024, 10:51:47 AM
A big Congratulations to Manchester united it was really unbelievable from them after their poor performance they have finally correct their mistake today by lifting the FA cup trophy. Manchester united have really make us proud today because we almost lose hope this season that we are not going to achieve anything, all thanks to God almighty for making us won the game and hopefully we are going to play Europe league next season.
Almost every body predicted Manchester City to win the trophy because of there current form this season but one thing about football is that football can be unpredictable  same thing also to happen at the Europa league final between Leverkusen and Atalanta people predicted Leverkusen to win the trophy because of there current form too and consistency but reverse was the case. All the same Congratulations to Manchester United.
I am a Manchester United fan, I haven't been that happy since the beginning of the season. There was when I expected Manchester United to be a little bit consistent in order to remain in the top six of the English Premier League table. At a time since started sliding the negative side, I didn't know if to blame the coach all day Manchester United management for not buying enough players for the coach. In the other hand the coach decision was destructed by inavailability of players. The majority of Manchester United defense we are absent throughout the season. But Manchester United coach started making some adjustment and playing some players of position in order to sustain throughout the season.

I would have said that football is unfair if actually a club like Chelsea plays Europa League why Manchester United does not. I didn't believe and understand how Chelsea moved past Manchester United in the table and occupies the sixth position for Europa League. But then football finally showed me that it is fair by making Manchester United to be the King of England and as well qualified for the Europa League competition for next season. If Manchester United management could get a more and quality players I think Manchester United win definitely compete for major trophies in the coming season.

I don't think there are much challenges with the use of physical casino even though as at now, gamblers will prefer more of the use of online crypto gambling casinos than the physical ones because of their comfort and affordability,
most specially those who are hiding their gambling addiction and activities because now in online gambling we are easily gamble in this way not letting others learning about our gaming and this is also the reason why there are so many people that is drowning in addiction


.
Quote
back in the old days? when casino is only available Physically? less people are diving into addiction bit like now that this is available every single second of our life as long as we have gadget and funds.
Some people gamble but do not want to be identified as gamblers, so these set of people will not want to visit physical casinos when there are online casinos.

Some people enjoy playing with friends and peer group. These set of people might not like playing with gadgets, they will like to play were they see the result of their friends.

Addiction is easy playing online. This means as long as you are internet connected, you can be gambling. But if you have to walk some miles or KM down before you gamble, you will less likely get addicted.

Hello forum, I have just been housed in the crypto world and found this forum and just thought I would write a short presentation and say hi so Hi!
I kindly want to ask for advice and tips on how to get around here in the beginning? Where do I buy Bitcoin in the best website without being scammed? I O I have never traded crypto before. Grateful for all answers. See you around and thank you.
Good to have you here. I noticed that you got answers to all your questions and if you can return here, you may decide to lock the thread at the down left corner of the post.
Among everything in OP, what caught my interest is "you haven't traded before". I will encourage you to trade. With the money you can afford to lose, you should also please learn how to trade before trading. One funny thing is that almost everyone in the cryptocurrency industry at one time or the other has tried their hands in trading. It is when you have tried, you will understand if trading is actually for you or not.

Re: Hot wallets are not the same as hardware wallets
The title of your thread is misleading, that is not what your friend told you. I wonder how you came up with such a title.

I disagree that accepting crypto to your hardware wallet while running a business is a good practice, this is the advice that my long time crypto investor friend was telling me when I told him that I want to start accepting crypto payments in my business, we argued for a while and I got tired.
...
And my friend seem so focused on the safety, I told him that long term holding is why hardware wallets are good choice not day to day transactions. 
You both are correct in your own different ways. In terms of security of your fund, your friend is very much correct. You will be pained to discover that you wake up one day to discover that your business funds in hot wallet are all gone.

In the other hand, when using a hardware wallet, it is only your customers sending coins to it and not you sending back to them. So, hardware wallet is appropriate. The only disadvantage might be if you want to move your funds very fast due to volatility.

Now, to that, add that we've lost valuable members, some of which were intellectually influential, and you have an Internet board filled with mostly crap. What's the problem?
This is a problem, but obviously we cannot solve this problem because it is a problem presented by nature. People must come and go.
Satoshi isn't here anymore;
Lazlo the pizza guy is no more here;
The I AM HODLING guy is no longer here;
And many more. Yet, the forum is still active.

When I was a newbie, I was looking upto people like;
Welsh;
LoyceV;
DdMrDdMr;
o_e_l_o_e;
DANNYHAMILTON;
Franky1
And others about the bitcoin technicals. Some are no longer active. Today BlackHatCoiner is a big name that newbies will look up to. People come and go, although the quality might decline but there must surely be one person(s) filling the gap. Few months ago, you nearly left, but surprisingly you made a u-turn, so we can be confident that some guys that left might come back. Let's see if the bull run can do this for us.

This is the whole essence of an Announcement Thread. If your team can live upto the above, that's already a pass mark and a bench mark to earning reputations here.
You also need to understand that signature campaigns bring results mostly on a long term. You shouldn't expect to see a magical result within 1 week. It is because of the long term results that made so many casinos been promoting here for more than 1 year no stop.

Team of CoinPoker, I am not sure why you started the signature campaign before the announcement. If you guys are concerned about marketing than do ensure it is their for long term.

Starting a signature campaign before an Ann thread is not a new thing here. It is no marketing strategy. Infact some projects run signature campaign without even having an Ann thread.

Bayern Leverkusen 52 matches unbeaten streak ended by Ademola Lookman

This was actually an interesting Europa League final to watch. Many people did not expect the result that came out this night whereas someone like me I have expected something like this. I was telling my friends that Xavi Alonso and his friends should not depend on the 90 minutes matra that it does not work in finals. I feel the greatest mistake of Xavi Alonso is that he refused to study the match between Atlanta and the Liverpool that got Liverpool eliminated from the Europa League. Liverpool actually underrated Atlanta in the first leg of their meeting and they paid darely for it.

I honestly feel pretty for Xavi Alonso and his boys, their  record needed not to be spoiled and they needed to win the Europa League. This is one among the greatest surprises that football can bring to us anytime any day. It is obvious that the sorrow of one man is the pleasure of another. While we feel sorry for Xavi and his boys who well deserved this trophy, another man known as Lookman has announced himself in a greater stage tonight.
Congratulations to Atlanta.
See you both in champions League.

The way I understood it, people running their own nodes will benefit in the speed of scanning compared to those relying on SPV clients. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
That's correct. When a sender pays you silently, you don't know where your bitcoin is, unless you check for all incoming transactions and perform the necessary operations. That's a burden for SPV clients, because they somehow need to be aware of all incoming transactions (that matter*).

* not all transactions can be silent payments, so there are a lot of exclusions the server can make.
Obviously a little kind of burden to SPV clients. However, when adoption increases, such discrepancies will fade away just like as it was with bc1 addresses.
Thanks BlackHatCoiner for the detailed explanation of why the address appeared longer than normal.
